I specifically want Drush to list, of the modules that have available updates, which of those contain database updates. Is this possible with Drush?
Edit for clarification: I know drush up will list all modules that have available updates, yes, but not all of those updates will have database updates that go along with them. I strictly want a list of updates that have associated database updates.
drush updatedb --no (shorthand: drush up -n) will list them and take no further action.
drush help up but nothing turned up in there, obviously... doh.

This is a feature request; please post it in the drush issue queue. Note that this is not a terribly easy thing for Drush to do; it would have to download all of the projects to be updated and inspect them prior to prompting you.
"drush pm-update" will give you a list of modules that have updates available.

There is a drush command that will be better for you than drush updatedb --no, as it will not clear the cache (which could really affect performance on a production site):
drush8 --uri=www.example.com updatedb-status --format=json
[
{
"module": "Metatag",
"update_id": 7104,
"description": "Remove the entity revision ID from the translation strings. "
},
{
"module": "Metatag",
"update_id": 7105,
"description": "Fix the output translation strings. "
}
]
